Sir Grumbleton

Me and Stunna have had this joke about grumbling lately. I think grumble is such a great word. I’m doing a whole lot of it today. No specific reason. I”m just mildly discontented with my day and wish I was doing something else. I know it may sound crazy but I think a lot of this feeling has to do with the absence of my ipod. All of a sudden I feel like I have to pay attention to the outside world and it makes me really unhappy. Mainly because I’ve noticed there isn’t really that much interesting going on and it makes me even more disgruntled. At least I can play make believe when I have my ipod on and ignore everyone else. Thank god friday we’ll be here soon and I can by my new ipod and go back to living in my own world.

Another thing, I feel like I’m a “yuppie robot who hates their job and is stuck in traffic.” My best friend used to do a graffiti magazine called Life Sucks Die and they used to make these hilarious stickers with random shit on them. The yuppie robot was one of them.Β  It was a bumper sticker that said “Honk if you’re a yuppie robot who hates their job and is stuck in traffic!” LOL.Β  I feel like that lately as I trollop up the escalator with the rest of the a.m. workers who have packed themselves on the morning train. *sigh*

That’s enough grumbling. Aren’t you happy that I’ve managed to keep my complaints about people talking to me on the train out of my entries? It’s been in rare form but I don’t want to sound like a stroppy old cow so I’ve been keeping the whinging to myself. πŸ™‚

I’m listening to Overfiend on Bassdrive.Β  I keep hearing some bangers but I’m attempting to multi task and by the time I go in the chat room to get the track id, cuz I keep missing Louis say it, nobody cares anymore and doesn’t wanna answer.Β  I guess I’m not dedicated enough to go chasing anyone to get the tracklist.Β  Lame , I know, but I’m trying to get some work done.Β  I naturally have a Laissez-Faire attitude.Β  If I was supposed to know the name of the track someone would have told me. πŸ˜‰

I did manage to write down this one.Β  Intelligent Manners – On The Dance Floor.Β  I feel like I’ve been hearing a lot of his tracks lately and I’ve definitely been feeling them.

I also like Lenzman & Submorphics’ Respiration.Β  It fits nicely into my summer vibes collection I’m trying to build. It’s already out so you can pick it up where it’s not sold out like it is on chemical’s website! Way Back When is dope too.Β  I wrote about it before.

Also loving A-sides to Sugar Sweet.Β  Hot stuff.

Sorry I don’t have samples for these tracks.Β  I’m just hearing them for the first time and figured you can be on the look out for them just as I am.

I’m absolutely starving.

Yowza

Yowza is such a nerdy word. I love it though. It’s been pretty muggy and hot these past couple of days. Could summer really be sticking around intsead of retreating back to murky, cold, rainy, 65 degree days?? I hope so.

Loving this SaburukoStay. Hot stuff.

Also loving this Electrosoul SystemAfter Hours.

We have so many cases up at my work lately. I’m finding that I don’t have the time to fuck around on the internet that I used to. Go figure… I actually have to do work!

I Object Your Honor

The one thing about my job is if one person doesn’t come to work it fucks up everything for the other lawyers.Β  Each lawyer has their own assistant so if they don’t show up they are fucked and have to find someone else to do their work.Β  There’s only 4 employees at my firm.Β  1 of them is out sick.Β  Now I’ve got a bunch of shit on top of my other shit and it’s actually not hard stuff to do, it’s just that it makes for a really long fucking day and it’s only 9 am. *sigh*

I’ve been listening to that Format mix that I posted before that had all the new Zero T tracks on it over and over for the past couple of days.Β  Dnb is really great to work out to, so that’s been my elliptical machine mix.Β  I’ve actually been listening to some of the same mixes on repeat for the past 5 days so I feel like I don’t have that much to report in the new tracks department.Β  I feel like when I listen to Bassdrive today I might have some stuff to discuss cuz that’s where I’ve been hearing all my new shit lately.

One that sticks out is that Dave Owen – On Point tune.Β  Definitely digging that one.Β  It’s just a party tune.Β  I don’t know why I didn’t write about that one before because I’ve actually been into it for the past month.Β  I don’t have a sample sorry.Β  I’m loving Tyler Straub’s stuff too.Β  Easy Does It?Β  That’s a complete summer jam.

I could rant forever but I’ve got a bunch of work to do.

Method One is at Seminar today.Β  It’s him and Submorphics.Β  I’m looking forward to good music and my friends.Β  Shout out to Greg, play Desperate Times dammit. πŸ˜‰

Tracktastic

I’m a little bit on the broke side these past couple of days so I’ve been trying not to keep up with too many tracks cuz I just get annoyed that I can’t buy them.

I have become completely obsessed with riding my bike though. The wind, the sun and the outdoors are seriously a great treat while riding around. πŸ™‚

I was listening to the forthcoming tracks on Chemical and there was this DKay track on there. It was ok. It made me think how four years ago all I had to see was DKay’s name on a release and I would buy it. It’s just funny how one’s tastes change. There’s nothing wrong with DKay. I still like his stuff just fine. I think I’ve just reached a point where I expect more. It’s so exciting to listen to a new track and be completely wowed by how innovative it is and how people are taking production to new levels. With that said though, I really did like that DKay – Individual Soul. I would listen to the whole thing while driving to Madison to see my mum and just be completely engrossed in this beautiful jazzy dnb world. If you’ve never listened to it you totally should. It’s quite amazing.

I saw that Lenzman & Submorphics – Respiration/Way Back When promo on the new releases list. Isn’t Way Back When super old?? I feel like I heard that track ages ago. I think Lenzman and Submorphics is a really good combo. The record is great.

I can’t exactly remember who I was having the conversation with, I think it was Pipeline and Sable Gray, but you really can’t keep tracks under wraps for that long anymore. People get bored and don’t wanna buy them when it finally does come out. I feel like I would have totally bought that Lenzman & Submorphics record back when I first heard it, whenever it was, but it seems so old to me now that I wouldn’t even think about spending money on it. I remember hearing LK and not knowing the name of the track and being too far away from the decks to ask or trainspot and then the track didn’t come out until 2 years after that. I’m so glad those days are over.

Alix Perez & Lynx were on Kiss FM. They are definitely two of the dnb darlings right now. It’s nice to be able to hear all these mixes but I’m starting to get the One Nation tape series syndrome. You know what I mean? People mix out so much these days that I’m hearing the same sets with the same tracks over and over again. I find myself having to listen to old mixes to switch it up or just picking one out of the many mixes I’ve downloaded because they all have the same tracks. I’m not complaining really. I think I just am gonna have to try harder to find mixes by different people instead of downloading the usual suspects all the time.

Even though I just prattled on about hearing the same tracks all the time, I do actually think that I only know like 5 tracks on this tracklist so it should be a good listen. πŸ™‚

Tracks Galore

I still haven’t gotten a new ipod dock. The apple store is downtown and I just Mr. Belvedere haven’t had time to get there yet. It’s my loss. My ipod died two days ago since it hasn’t been charged. It’s a bonus that I get to listen to music on the way to work but I also use my ipod to deter people from talking to me. Of course the second I don’t have my ipod, yesterday 2 homeless people hit on me and today a white man who looked like Mr. Belvedere and was at least 68 asked me out for coffee. Go figure. I guess it’s nice to know that I attract all kinds. πŸ˜‰

I was listening to Overfiend’s show on Bassdrive yesterday and there were sooooo many good cuts. I was feeling quite ill (and still am but am at work cuz I’m a trooper) but at least I got to listen to good music. I’m such a nerd I wrote down the key songs I was digging. I totally have a notebook where I keep songs that I hear and would like to get when they come out. Geeky? Yes indeed.

Dan MarshallWord’s Can’t Explain: I’ve heard this song a lot lately. The vocal is awesome.

SubmorphicsDesperate Times: I’m biased. Greg is friend of mine but I actually was a fan of his music before we became friends. I played Make It Happen (the mp3’s are switched so if you wanna hear Make It Happen click on the Young Ax tune) so much that I need a new copy.

Paul SGBright Soul: Am I horrible for not knowing who he is? Well I know him now. He has some awesome stuff. There was another track that he has with Calculon that I loved as well, Part of Me, which was pretty dope too.

Bachelors of ScienceBeautiful Life: Not really much to say here. BOS always have great stuff. I’m a big fan of theirs.

I just picked up that Makoto and Marky Rush Hour EP. Loving Get 2 This.

The workload has subsided a little so I’m just enjoying listening to music and focusing on revisions. Bailey opens his set up with our favourite dreadlocked wonder Will Miles and also has some serious action with my newest dnb obsession, Survival (yeh yeh yeh, I’m late jumping on the bandwagon) I’m twenty minutes in and already lovin it.Β  I guess I can tolerate Bailey’s love of the clown for a DNAudio set. πŸ™‚
